The event is structured as a two-part convening. From 3-5 pm will be the Stakeholder’s meeting. Here legislators, organizations, health providers, holistic healers, and advocates will voice their concerns, experience, and suggestions to support legislation to improve the wellbeing of Black folks.

Of course, we want to hear from the actual community and constituents that we advocate on their behalf. From 5-7 pm is the town hall meeting for community members, which stakeholders are welcomed to be a part of as well. In this time, we hold space for the community to proclaim matters that are important to them that should be the focus of our efforts in impacting legislation.

We understand that not everyone feels comfortable talking in groups, therefore we will have other mediums for sharing your thoughts and suggestions and still be able to be present.

There will be food and drinks provided. We are asking for your time therefore we can definitely feed you.
